your gonna get a mix on here fella, for me id say yes. just beacuse i dont want to sit in my car when i pull up outside i wanna jump out and go indoors. fact is you shouldnt turn the car str8 off after abit of a run so you either sit in it running or you let the turbo timer do its job while you put the kettle on

Why people cannot just drive slowly+off boost for the last two or so miles of their journey baffles me LOL.
It saves your turbo, saves fuel, saves the expense of having a turbo timer, save invalidating your alarm's cat1 status due to the turbo timer, saves your insurance company getting in a frazzle about the alarm not being cat1 anymore. I could go on LOL

Depends if the road you live on is the "best bit or road to play on" or not..
Quite often I forget to turn in my drive and instead do a flyby and come back ten mins later and pootle in.

Always heard water cooled turbos do not need timers. The water circulates to the upper tank via convection continuing to cool the bearing after engine shut down. I do still sit for a minute and let things cool down.

If you've been sensible and driven the last couple of miles at low revs, i.e; off boost and in a taller gear, then switched the car off, the turbo timer is going have no effect because the turbo has already spooled down and the underbody airflow has removed as much residual driveline heat as it's going to
Having said that, my scoob has a turbo timer fitted
1/ because it was free and,
2/ Because it leaves my headlights on long enough for me to see my way up the drive when it's dark
